This shows the head with both halves together
The head actually comes apart like an easter egg
This starts like this...
Then occurs some most enjoyable hacking and shaping with various power and hand tools:

Power planer
Hand saw
But best of all the solid tungsten carbide rotary rasps in a router with its cage taken off, and replaced with a drill handle. This is not good for the lungs or the tips of fingers if one is not careful

Taken apart the carved head feels like some 19th century medical experiment.
The slices were fitted onto some MDF and marked out
The transferred patterns were then cut from MDF
The outline only slices next to the original carved slices
